Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) – NEN 3140, NEN 1010
NEN 3140 and NEN 1010 inspections ensure reliable, safe electrical tools and installations. Meet these standards to prevent outages and incidents. Control Union’s certified inspectors deliver expert inspections and audits, followed by fast, accurate reporting. Your equipment and operations stay compliant, with clear insight into when replacement or repair is needed.
Electrical Safety & Compliance
Control Union operates fully ISO 27001-certified: all findings, reports, and certificates are accessible in our secure online client portal alongside other industrial inspections. One assignment covers NEN 3140 (portable electrical equipment) and NEN 1010 (fixed installations) for complete workplace safety. Certificates are also accepted in the United Kingdom, eliminating the need for duplicate inspections.
Portable Appliance Testing delivers operational control, insight and certainty
Always compliant
Electrical work equipment and installations must be inspected annually, and by combining inspections with planned site visits, compliance is maintained without additional mobilisation.
Fully objective
Control Union only inspects and reports, ensuring pass‑or‑fail decisions are independent and free from commercial interests related to repair or maintenance work.
Immediate on‑site insight
Inspectors prepare digital reports directly on site, making results available before leaving and allowing operations to continue without delay.
Proven electrical safety
Inspected and approved electrical equipment reduces the risk of electric shock, fire and injury, while clear reporting supports the organisation’s duty of care.
One partner, one visit
NEN inspections are integrated into Control Union’s broader inspection scope, reducing the need for multiple suppliers and simplifying coordination.

Certified, multi-skilled inspectors combine PAT with lifting and hoisting equipment checks on the same site visit, eliminating extra mobilisation costs.
